Nov 22, 2022I really can't see any basis for a poor review on this film. The acting was all done quite well, and the cinematography did a great job of reminding us of the time frame in which the story originated (other than it being colonized). It has a sad ending because of the outcome we were told about in the beginning, but the writers did a wonderful job skipping through her sad life and bringing us in touch with the abuse she faced at such a young age. Hope enough positive reviews help to bring the rating up where it truly belongs.

Nov 22, 2022Keep it simple...this movie is a waste of time! However, and a big however...Jaime King's performance as Toni Jo Henry, the condemned killer is good, very good and perhaps the only reason to see the complete movie. The overall production is amateurish. Everything from props, makeup, editing, acting, directing somehow is attention getting in an annoying way. But, the true story line keeps your attention along with King's performance. (spoiler possible) By the time Toni Jo sits in the electric chair we really don't care one way or the other. After all she was involved in the murder at least as an accomplice. It's on Netflix (as of 12-22-2015)

Nov 22, 2022The Pardon is a very engaging film with exceptional acting that tells a dramatic, heart wrenching tale. It is based on the true life story of Toni Jo Henry and her sensational murder trial in the 1940's in Louisiana. The Pardon shows the dramatic influence that childhood abuse has in one's later life. It is the story of finally finding love and its power to heal. The filming and powerful aura created make this a movie that will stay with the viewer long after seeing it. And Jaime King, John Hawkes, and T.J. Thyne give great performances that captivate you the entire movie. I highly recommend seeing this film if you like a dramatic, well told story with excellent acting, mood, and filming.
